If there’s one player from Liverpool history supporters would love to have playing in the team today it is surely Steven Gerrard.
Gerrard earned his status as potentially the best player the club has ever seen across a glittering, 17-year career at Anfield.
The Scouser could have joined any team in world football had he wanted to, but despite a couple of close-shaves through the years, Gerrard always stayed loyal to Liverpool.
But it would be to do Gerrard a disservice to suggest that loyalty was his best attribute.
The midfielder was one of the most gifted players of his generation.
Revered by almost all who played with him at Liverpool, the former No.
8 was one of the most complete footballers the world has ever seen.
For a striker, Gerrard must have been a dream to play with.
Asked what it was like to play with Gerrard during an appearance on the YouTube channel AwayDays, Sturridge couldn’t speak highly enough of his former teammate.

Asked to give his memories of Gerrard’s passing ability in particular, Sturridge said he was comfortably one of the best he ever played with.
“Stevie’s passing for me, out of all the players I’ve played with, he’s definitely top three, potentially one if I’m honest,” he admitted.
Top, top player, top, top human and passing wise second to none.”
Sturridge also picked out one pass that Gerrard gave him while playing for Liverpool as worthy of mention.
Many supporters will likely have already known where the former striker was going as he recalled a ridiculously good, outside of the boot assist from Gerrard away against Fulham.
“I remember he played one pass through the middle, we played against Fulham away,” Sturridge began.
